Competition for jobs is especially fierce in the media industry. So how do you land that job once you’ve finally got an interview? What tips, tools and techniques are there to maximise your chances so you stand out from the crowd?

Simon Smith and guests talk about job interview skills, from researching the job, handling standard and difficult questions to tackling interviews at the BBC and what to do when asked along for an informal chat.

Simon's guests are Emily Gale, talent manager at TV production company Talkback Thames, Simon Wright, a BBC Talent exec and Neil Walker director of Unlimited Performance (an independent recruitment, talent management and employee development consultancy) and former head of Production Talent at both ITV and BBC London Factual.
